STINNER Victor added the comment: Regressions are not cool, but it was a deliberate choice to not support bytes filenames in os.scandir(). If you use bytes, you can get filenames which are invalid: you will be unable to use the filename with open() to read its content for example.
Bytes filename are deprecated since python 3.2 if i recall correctly. It's time to use the right time, it's also simpler to use on Python 3. I suggest to document the regression rather than adding bytes support to os.scandir or don't use scandir in os.walk(). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25911> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
